This paper summarizes some of the most recent total system performance assessment (TSPA) work supported by EPRI for the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. In part 1 of the paper, standard TSPA analyses are presented. In Part 2 examples of two types of analyses that augment standard TSPAs are provided that suggest: (1) many components of the Yucca Mountain system contribute to overall hazard reduction; and (2) the biosphere dose conversions used, based on reasonably maximizing assumptions about future human behavior, provide a reasonable upper bound. These additional analyses should provide further confidence when considering more standard TSPA analyses.
